There is no memory safety without thread safety
Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? <...> Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs. However, in this post I will argue that this distinction isn’t all that useful, and that the actual property we want our programs to have is absence of Undefined Behavior.
